Could The Last Revelation be the final outing for Smith and Croft? Smith isn't saying. But you get the sense that this married father of three, who eschews the gaming industry's increasingly bright limelight, has become so accustomed to Lara's face--and other parts--that he won't ditch her just yet. "I'm happy to stand in Lara's shadow," he says. And that of her smooth, full-cheeked bottom...
...omen of antisocial, possibly even violent behavior. (Judges sent both those boys back to class.) It's an environment in which a school bans even images of weapons, like the one depicting Samantha Jones of Nevis, Minn., perched on a 155-mm howitzer. After student protests, officials agreed last week to a new photo with a U.S. flag draped over the cannon...
...better mentoring and earlier intervention for troubled children. It may seem silly to go after a kid whose only crime is manicuring during school hours. But how do you know whom to treat sympathetically at a time when 11-year-olds commit murder? (Now 13, Nathaniel Abraham was convicted last month in Michigan of shooting a stranger in the head.) And how do you decide which kids are just morose and creative--and which ones are plotting to kill...
Administrators have also begun to show zero tolerance for things students merely say or write. Call it subzero tolerance. Last spring Antonius Brown, 18, wrote a story in his journal about a deranged student who goes on a rampage at Brown's high school, Therrell, in Atlanta. It's a sick story.

He was expelled two days later in the fearful atmosphere of the moment. Police charged him with making terrorist threats...
Even more unsettling was the twist the case took last week, when prosecutors charged two white teenagers with the murder and said they had targeted Richardson, a stranger to them, because he was black. The Elkhart Truth reported that one suspect, Jason Powell, 19, had told friends he needed to kill a black person to earn a badge of honor in the Aryan Brotherhood, a white-supremacist gang he hoped to join. An Elkhart city councilman, Arvis Dawson, told TIME he had confirmed that report in conversations with police and prosecutors. Neither Powell nor his co-defendant, Alex Witmer...
